The goal of our research is to develop self-optimising radio resource management algorithms for LTE radio networks. In particular, we will focus on developing self-optimising packet scheduling and admission control algorithms. The objective is to automatically adapt various scheduling and admission control related parameters in order to enhance the grade-of-service (GoS) and quality-of-service (QoS) and at the same time maximise resource utilisation. Factors that can that can trigger these adaptations are changes in traffic/mobility patterns, traffic mix and propagation/interference characteristics.
The OPNET LTE model will be used to evaluate the performance of the developed self-optimising scheduling and admission control algorithms. Especially the ability to easily evaluate custom scheduling algorithms and the comprehensive implementation of the LTE MAC and PHY layers will be of great help for our research.
